초록
Acne vulgaris is a chronic skin disease of pilosebaceous units with multifactorial pathogenesis that affects about 80% of adolescents and young adults. Although various treatment modalities for acne are reported, treatment of acne with minimal side effects is challenging. In this report, we treated a patient with acne vulgaris using long-pulsed 1,064-nm neodymium:yttrium-aluminum-garnet (Nd:YAG) lasers. After two sessions of long-pulsed 1,064-nm Nd:YAG laser treatment, the patient presented with nearly complete improvement with no remarkable side effects or recurrence over the duration of 6 months. We suggest that long-pulsed 1,064-nm Nd:YAG laser can be effectively and safely used to treat inflammatory lesions in the skin, particularly acne vulgaris, in Asian patients.
